Am I Islamophobic?In a speech given at the National Endowment for Democracy, on October 6, 2005 President Bush said: “Many Muslim scholars have already publicly condemned terrorism, often citing Chapter 5, Verse 32 of the Koran, which states that killing an innocent human being is like killing all humanity…” He most likely did not read the entire verse which states: “…whoever kills a person, unless it be for manslaughter or for mischief in the land, it is as though he had killed all men.”So it is okay according to the Quran to kill anyone who creates “mischief in the land.” It is easy to see how the Taliban can justify killing. Mischief can be translated to pretty much anything they want, such as foreigners in their country, even those who are there as aid workers."Islam is a religion of peace."OK so now that we live in the 21 Th Century why not remove the verses who call up for killing non believers,as a step in the right direction towards inter faith dialogue?Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

Islamic Human Rights Commission sees no evil in Iran. Its website, after all, urges readers not to be a “silent victim,” and to contact the organization if they have suffered anti-Muslim harassment or discrimination. One would assume, then, that the Islamic Human Rights Commission would be very concerned about the oppression, incarceration, murder, and rape of dissidents in Iran — almost all of whom, after all, are Muslims.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

Report Links Iran to Hamas Attacks.Iran may have orchestrated last week's brutal attacks by Hamas militants against Israeli settlers in the West Bank in an attempt to derail the Middle East peace talks between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. That is the provocative possibility raised by a recently released report by Strategic Forecasting (STRATFOR), a global intelligence company that provides news updates and analysis. STRATFOR cites unnamed sources claiming that Iran communicated directly with militants from both Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ)—without the consent of the leaders of either organization—and offered a substantial amount of money for attacks on specific targets.Iran's purpose for orchestrating the attacks was not only to derail the peace talks but also to demonstrate the loyalty of Hamas and the PIJ to Tehran, the STRATFOR sources suggest.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

How to Fight Them.We have to fight them, because their radical imams, mosques, and schools threaten us; they constitute an assembly line for the next generation of home-grown American jihadi killers. But we can’t ask the courts to silence them, because we want to maintain our 1st Amendment rights.How, then, do we fight? There are three basic lines of attack. The first is to openly contest their odious doctrines and practices. As Manda Ervin said here yesterday, speaking in the name of Muslim women : We want America to treat Islam like it treats Christianity and Judaism, and to stop exempting Muslims from requirements imposed on others. We want Islam to be challenged by the same questioning, criticism, and control that is applied to other religions. Please stop pampering Islam to appease the terrorists and dictators.Amazingly once again it seems only Muslim women have the guts to speak up against Islam.Is it because they suffer most by Radical Islam?Read the full story here.Click here to comments.

Muslims and Hispanic illegals: Can we judge the present by the past? Michigan Democrats Told Their Fake Tea Party Is Illegal Prominent Australian sportswoman uses naughty word » Muslims and Hispanic illegals: Can we judge the present by the past?It is generally true that the past is the best guide to the future that we have but that is not to say that it is always a good guide. Does anybody seriously think that (say) America of 100 years ago is the same as the America of today?So once again the complexities of reality upset the simplistic theories of the Left. Neither in the case of Muslims nor in the case of Hispanic illegals can we expect the universal assimilation of the past. Permanently hostile subgroups are instead to be expected.

Ramadan.Three near-certainties accompany the Muslim holy month of Ramadan: in Islamic countries, the stock market climbs; in Jerusalem, the already amplified pre-dawn adhān, or call to prayer, becomes even more piercing than usual; and there is a steep rise in Muslim bloodletting.But no amount of ecumenical goodwill can change the fact that Ramadan is a blood-soaked period. What can be done about that? Only the Muslim faithful themselves can challenge Islamists bent on brutality. There is a glimmer of hope that this is beginning to happen, but it will take a thorough political and theological reformation before the bloodletting is taken out of Ramadan.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

Great Lakes oil drilling - Americans seek to give Canada monopoly.Conservation and environmental organizations are lining up in attempts to get Michigan's top 3 law makers, all lame ducks, to pass legislation to prohibit drilling for oil in the Great Lakes.

They already have more than 500 gas wells in their portion of Lake Erie. They also have parts of Lake Superior, Lake Huron, and Lake Ontario in which they can legally drill.Michigan has the longest coastline of all 48 continental United States with over 3,000 miles of sodium-free waters of the Great Lakes.

The Ground Zero mosque - what US could learn from Israel.Life in our region has taught us that the first necessary step to defending yourself is acknowledging that someone is out to destroy you.In its basic form, the Ground Zero mosque debate boils down to a conflict between two competing values – American freedom of religion versus the sensitivities of the families of the victims of 9/11.The freedom-of-religion argument suggests that if Jews sought to build a synagogue at Ground Zero (or anywhere else, for that matter), they would be within their rights. That’s the American way. The opposing view suggests that while not every Catholic was guilty in the Holocaust, and not every Muslim perpetrated the crimes of 9/11, sensitivities still matter. Pope John Paul II had the decency to force the Carmelite nuns out of Auschwitz, and Muslim leaders, too, ought to relocate their project. Read the full story here.Click here to comment.

Thilo Sarrazin and the Islamization of Europe.Thilo Sarrazin has vaulted into the headlines in Germany and the rest of Europe over the last few weeks. He was already controversial due to his publicly expressed views on Muslim immigration, but his recently-published book has brought down the wrath of the German establishment upon his head. The SPD (Social Democrat Party) has voted to expel him, and yesterday he was fired from the board of the Bundesbank. What did the U.S. government do for the integration of German, Jewish, Irish and Italian immigrants? They integrated themselves, because they had no other choice if they wanted to survive. There was no public support for importing brides. The failure of integration in Germany is due to the attitude of the Muslim immigrants.

"They must put their hands on the Quran and say that they do not recognize Israel as a legitimate entity. If they cannot do that, they must be branded as kaffirs [infidels]. It's as simple as that. Because the Quran says – drive them out from where they drove you out."Last year, Nahidian wrote to President Obama, citing a Quranic verse that says "Do not take Jews and Christians as your authority," and asking the President not to "interfere with the affairs regarding Islamic issues based on our Holy Quran" including the disputed Iranian election results.Read the full story here.Click here to comment.

How is Rosh Hashanah Observed?
When takes Rosh Hashanah place in 2010 : September 8 (at sundown)-10 -2010.
An Overview of Rosh Hashanah's Traditions and Customs.The two-day festival of Rosh Hashanah is observed on the 1st and 2nd days of Tishrei.

In Hebrew, Rosh Hashanah means, literally, "Head of the Year," and as its name indicates, it is the beginning of the Jewish year. The anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve, it is the birthday of mankind, highlighting the special relationship between G‑d and humanity.

Jihad, Islamization, and the ‘Arab-Israeli Peace Process’.The Arab and non-Arab Muslim umma, or global community, vehemently denies pre-Islamic Jewish and ignores pre-Islamic Christian connections to all the territories that comprised historical Syro-Palestine—including Judea, Samaria, modern Israel within the 1949 armistice borders, and Gaza. This historical negationism is melded to Islam’s own theological supresessionism which abrogates Judaism and Christianity as deliberately corrupted, crude manifestations of the one true primordial monotheism, Islam. (See Koran 3:67—“No; Abraham in truth was not a Jew, neither a Christian; but he was a Muslim and one pure of faith [i.e., Islam]; certainly he was never of the idolaters.”) Such an eternal religio-political worldview should raise grave doubts about the prospects of negotiating a permanent peace settlement between the Israelis and the local Arab Muslim representatives of the global Islamic umma, the Palestinian Arabs.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

Despite the fact that similar threats have never been realized in the past, it is important to examine possible scenarios, as the Straits are a choke point of critical significance for both regional and global stability.Read the full story here.Click here to comment.

Mosque building owners nixed $18M offer before taking $4.8M one.The original owners of the Ground Zero mosque site mysteriously spurned dozens of higher bids before selling the prime downtown real estate at a bargain-basement price.The Pomerantz family, which had owned the building since the late 1960s and fielded offers after the patriarch died in 2006, rejected at least one bid that was nearly four times what prospective mosque builder Sharif El-Gamal eventually paid, The Post has learned. El-Gamal did offer what could be viewed as a sweetener to his $4.8 million bid in July 2009 -- a job as a property manager for a son of the family, Sethian Pomerantz.New York developer Kevin Glodek was livid when he found out the building sold for a fraction of what he offered in 2007 -- $18 million cash -- and wondered whether money changed hands under the table, according to sources close to the deal.The more you dig in a dung hill ,the more it smells?Read The full story here.Click here to comment.

Could Barack Obama be Insane?

It's as if the entire collective Democratic Party and our dear President Obama have gnawed their way out of restraints, moved to Washington, DC, and set up shop. At last, relief appears to be cresting the horizon. All in possession of gumption, intelligence, and old fashioned horse-sense may soon be able to cease head scratching, enjoy respite from hazes of bafflement, and rejuvenate from the cessation of perpetual insomnia from attempting to break the invincible code of ignorance that shrouds Barack Obama and the Democratic Party like a titanium cocoon.Read the full story here.Click here to comment.

Tell me he is not deliberately seeking to bankrupt the nation.Lets say for one moment that the whole stock market crashes ,what is stopping him from declaring emergency rule ,forbidding to bear arms and cancel elections ,thus taking complete power?Read the full story here.Click here for Comments.

Speaker Pelosi: Stand Up for Muslim Women, Not Islamists Like Rauf!An open letter from the founder and president of the Alliance of Iranian Women.Honorable Speaker Pelosi:I heard you say that the people who oppose the construction of the Ground Zero mosque should be investigated.Investigate me. I oppose the construction of that mosque.This mosque, built in such close proximity to Ground Zero, is intended to send a message to America and another message to the Muslims who are gravitating toward human rights laws and secularism. We are sure that this mosque will cause nothing but division and justified ill will towards Muslims in this country.Read the full story here.Click here to comment.

‘Machete’ Review: Dull, Convoluted, Racist and Anti-American.The story of a former Mexican “Federale” (the great Danny Trejo) framed for the attempted assassination of a racist Texas State Senator (the hammy Robert DeNiro) is both racial and racist. “Machete” isn’t about a political call for the powerless to fight THE corrupt MAN, it’s a call for revolution; Mexicans against Americans – and in the words of the character meant to be our evolving conscience, Jessica Alba’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Sartana, it’s about how those who believe in only LEGAL immigration “deserve to be cut down.” This is her rousing fist-in-the-air message to a gathered army of illegal day laborers who have been patiently waiting for the call away from their jobs as dishwashers, gardeners and hotel maids to wage war against a cruel America whose immigration laws, by the way, are nowhere near as harsh as Mexico’s.Hmmmm i finally understoud the reason for Obama's visit to hollywood,nothing beats a good movie for convincing the people to allow all illegals to stay as Americans?Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

For US Muslims, a 9/11 Anniversary Like No Other.American Muslims are boosting security at mosques, seeking help from leaders of other faiths and airing ads underscoring their loyalty to the United States — all ahead of a 9/11 anniversary they fear could bring more trouble for their communities.Their goal is not only to protect Muslims, but also to prevent them from retaliating if provoked. One Sept. 11 protest in New York against the proposed mosque near ground zero is expected to feature Geert Wilders, the aggressively anti-Islam Dutch lawmaker. The same day in Gainesville, Fla., the Dove World Outreach Center plans to burn copies of the Quran.On Sept. 11 in Chicago, Zeenat Rahman, a 34-year-old native of the city, will visit a local nursing home with Muslim and non-Muslim friends to spend time with residents and help serve a meal.Hmm i presume halal only?I hope all bloggers will mention the number of Islamic attacks on 9/11 compared to the rest of the other religions on that day!Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

Tehran pays Taliban for every US casualty.Intelligence sources in Afghanistan, senior Taliban officials tell Sunday Times about training camps built by Iran for terror activists, money they receive for their 'achievements' - $1,000 for each soldier and $6,000 for each vehicle.At least five Iranian companies are sending money to the Islamist terror group in Afghanistan in order to fund the fighting against Western powers, led by the United States, according to a Sunday Times report, which quoted Taliban sources.Afghani intelligence and Taliban officials told how the money is transferred from Iranian straw-men companies to Afghani rebels. Intelligence officials in the West believe the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps the driving force behind these companies.Hmmm no wonder they need "New" banks.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

Japanese journalist kidnapped five months ago is freed by his Taliban captors... because he is 'a fellow Muslim'.Tsuneoka's captors apparently decided to release him because he is a fellow Muslim, Kyodo said.According to his personal website, Tsuneoka converted to the religion in 2000 while in Moscow.Hopes for his release grew over the weekend after two new messages in English suddenly emerged on his Twitter account.He assured his followers that he was alive and in jail in Kunduz. It was not clear how or why the messages were sent.Hmmmm i'm sure he'll write a very positive story about the Taliban in near future?Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

Reflections on a hijab-wearing Iranian feminist and how she touched my life.I had mixed feelings about the Council of Ex-Muslims, as they're strong advocates of women's human rights, but also exhibit anti-Muslim bias. But I decided to accept the invitation, since many of the group's founders are involved in Iranian women's issues and I was working, at the time, on a report for WLUML on the contemporary Iranian women's movement.At the event, a number of the panelists talked about how the label "Muslim"had been forced upon them — either because their families were Muslim or because they lived in Muslim-majority countries. Many now considered themselves secular humanists, and told harrowing stories of the abuse they had suffered in the name of Islam.The audience was filled with human-rights advocates, journalists, and friends of the panelists. One individual, however, stood out — the only hijab-wearing woman in the audience. She stood in the back, occasionally scribbling notes on her legal pad.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

Move over Shrek, for Japan's aquatic ogre.And you thought Shrek liked hanging out only in his swamp. Turns out there's a fish that greatly resembles the green ogre swimming off the coast of Japan.A buzzy video shot by a scuba diver made its way to WYFF-TV in Greenville, S.C. The station explains that this particular fish is an Asian sheepshead wrasse, and it is relatively common. What's less common is that this particular fish, estimated to be about 30 years old, bears a startling resemblance to the grouchy ogre. The head, the chin, the beady eyes - it's all there. Alas, no sign of Donkey or Fiona.Read ans see the full story here.Click here for comments.

Western Withdrawal Date Brings Old Debate On Islamic Law Into Focus.Nine years after the toppling of their hard-line regime, the Taliban are making a comeback in rural Afghanistan with their harsh system of justice and strict social controls.In Qarabagh, a district in Afghanistan's central Ghazni Province, the Taliban have forced the closure of all girl schools and banned sports, music, and dancing. Women are barred from employment and forced to wear the all-encompassing burqa, while men are ordered to cover their heads, too. Public schools for boys were kept open only after dramatically increasing Islamic lessons.The Taliban push for implementing Shari'a law has sparked a debate about whether the Western withdrawal from Afghanistan -- set to begin in July 2011 -- and Kabul's drive for reconciliation with the Taliban will encourage conservative Islamic clerics and hard-line Islamists, including the moderate elements of the Taliban, to push for the implementation of a harsh justice system that would directly contradict the human-rights guarantees enshrined in the current Afghan Constitution.Read the full story here.My take on it all the coalition soldiers that were killed and wounded are being betrayed by the leaders of Afghanistan at this moment everything was in vain!Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

The Corleons of Kandahar are Doomed to Fail Afghanistan.President Karzai met with tribal leaders hoping for their support in his rift with Washington. Instead, his meetings were a total disaster with tribal leaders demonstrating a clear lack of confidence in, not only his policies but his personal leadership as well. With accusations of personal failings, from a possible drug habit, to rigged elections and close relations with narcotics operations, followed by erratic behavior culminating in threats to “join the Taliban,” President Karzai couldn’t be facing worse challenges. However, the story of the Karzai disaster starts long before his current problems.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

"We are not saying this is the government policy; however, [the government] is capable of putting a stop to the phenomenon. It has the tools.

According media reports, this quote keeping Obama company on his wheat-colored carpet is from King.Except it's not a King quote.The words belong to a long-gone Bostonian champion of social progress.

BP Gulf well "secured," awaiting final kill: U.S.BP Plc's ruptured Gulf of Mexico oil well is secure with no threat of spewing crude again, the top U.S. official overseeing the spill response said on Saturday."We basically have secured this well," retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen said. "We have essentially eliminated the threat of discharge from the well at this point."A cap atop failed blowout preventer equipment on the Macondo well had sealed in all oil flow since July 15. On Friday, BP replaced the failed equipment with a new giant stack of valves and pipes.Once the new blowout preventer is tested, BP can resume drilling a relief well that will bore into the Macondo well and pump in mud and cement to plug it for good."We should be ready to move forward with the relief well sometime next week," Allen said.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

U.S. to temper stance on Afghan corruption.U.S. commanders in southern Afghanistan are adopting a strategy that increasingly places the priority on fighting the Taliban even if that means tolerating some corruption.Military officials in the region have concluded that the Taliban's insurgency is the most pressing threat to stability in some areas and that a sweeping effort to drive out corruption could create chaos and a governance vacuum that the Taliban could exploit."There are areas where you need strong leadership, and some of those leaders are not entirely pure," said a senior defense official. "But they can help us be more effective in going after the primary threat, which is the Taliban."Nice if you believe this.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

Islam has taken over Europe and is fully intent on conquering America. Islam has slowly gained momentum in America, notably since 9/11, using freedom of religion as a weapon of war to literally take over American city streets.In an attempt to warn America, Christian Broadcast Network (CBN) reporter Dale Hurd met with Parisian “Maxime Lepante,” (an alias to protect the Parisian’s identity from Islamic threats) who secretly filmed the Islamic conquest of France, exposing it so it can be prevented in America. Lepante’s video reveals over-crowded Paris streets with thousands of Muslims on their knees praying, stopping traffic, and making it impossible for pedestrians to enter places of business.

Sexual harassment at workplace remains serious problem in Turkey.Despite laws that were introduced to improve the rights of women in the face of incidences of sexual harassment, the frequency of sexual harassment cases in the workplace shows that it is still a problem that needs to be addressed more comprehensively due to weaknesses in relevant laws, women’s rights activists say.“No one is interested about the thoughts or education of women. What draws attention is a woman’s body,” she complains. She also underlines that many woman who are exposed to sexual harassment in the workplace remain silent and do not complain about the assailants. “Why? Because even women ask about the victim, ‘What did she do to provoke him?’ And so women remain silent, fearing that they will be accused. Although women have begun to raise their voices in such cases, there is widespread silence on the matter,” she said.Women rights and Islam?Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

Michelle Malkin: Obama spending Labor Day with real thugs.To mark Labor Day 2010, President Obama will join hands with AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka in Milwaukee and pose as champions of the working class. Bad move. Trumka's organizing record is a shameful reminder of the union movement's violent and corrupt foundations.The new Obama/AFL-CIO power alliance -- underwritten with $40 million in hard-earned worker dues -- is a midterm shotgun marriage of Beltway brass knuckles and Big Labor brawn. Trumka warmed up his rhetorical muscles this past week with full-frontal attacks on former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. He indignantly accused her of "getting close to calling for violence" and suggested that her criticism of Tea Party-bashing labor bosses amounted to "terrorizing" workers.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

Obama Sponsors Federal Grant Workshop For Islamists.BigPeace.com broke the story earlier this week on the White House sponsorship of a workshop to show Muslim organizations how to get federal taxpayer dollars for their activities. The Coordinating Council of Muslim Organizations (CCMO) brought 25-30 Muslim leaders of 20 national groups together for the federal workshop. This is how Obama spends our tax dollars.In contrast, Obama has gutted the faith-based office and disallowed any National Day of Prayer events in the White House.Remember: Islam is not a religion like the Baptists, the Assembly of God or Catholicism, but it is a geo-political, military system.Many of the organizations that are part of the CCMO are part of the radical Muslim Brotherhood, an organization founded in 1928 to impose Islamic tyranny on every nation on the globe. A 2007 membership list of the CCMO reveals that there are 41 Muslim groups.After the November elections, when Republicans gain control of the House and perhaps even the Senate, the new leadership can hold hearings to discover the facts about this shameful event.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

Women in Afghanistan need our support.The lot of Afghan women has improved since 2001, but they still struggle to be heard.For women in Afghanistan, some things have changed since 2001. Many more girls are in school, though attacks on schools are at an all-time high. Maternal mortality has decreased in some areas, though still one woman dies in childbirth every 30 minutes. Women do have a number of seats in parliament, even more than in many western countries for example, though they will tell you how difficult it is for them to get their voice heard. Many Afghan women and men are now truly afraid of what might happen in the future.My take on this is "as soon as the troops are gone the Taliban will be back and women will have no rights what so ever under their hard line Islamic rule!The next step will be a tsunami of fugitives from Afghanistan."Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

But due to the wonders of statistical revision, it now turns out that it was only 1.6%. Of course, those out of work do not care what the statistics say because they know exactly what the economy feels like to them now. All the same, these numbers are no doubt confirming people's fears that the dreaded second dip (of on-going depression) is on the way.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

The battle for Turkey's constitution.As Turkey gets ready to vote on amendments, political wrangling means that the constitution will remain undemocratic at heart.Nationalist rightwing and statist left-of-centre groups are campaigning against the amendments, Islamist-leaning groups support them, and Kurdish groups advocate a referendum boycott, wishing to support neither the secularist establishment nor the current government. Moreover, the socialist and the liberal left are divided over whether some progress is better than none, with opponents arguing that half-hearted changes to the constitution would preclude eventual real reform.With the campaign dragging on for months, the referendum has thoroughly polarised Turkish politics. Win or lose, that is unlikely to change.Read the full story here.Click here for comments.

Karzai announces "peace council" to push Taliban talks.An Afghan peace council to pursue talks with the Taliban has been set up, President Hamid Karzai said on Saturday, the latest step in a gradual move toward reconciliation with the Islamist insurgents.The idea for a peace council was discussed at a traditional gathering, or jirga, attended by about 1,600 Afghan leaders and tribal elders in the capital, Kabul, in June.Karzai's presidential palace issued a statement on Saturday which said the creation of the High Peace Council was "a significant step toward peace talks."Karzai's plan, backed by tribal elders at the "peace jirga," involves luring Taliban foot soldiers away from the insurgency with cash and job incentives while seeking reconciliation with senior leaders by offering them asylum in other Muslim countries and striking their names off a U.N. blacklist.Sounds more like a surrender just before the foreign troops leave?Read the full story here.Click here for comments.
